After going through a bag of cofee that I ground at the store (it took me over a month) I wanted a way to have fresher coffee, but on demand and at a cheap price. I ended up buying this:

And now I grind my own coffee at college right before I drink it. Maybe I'm a coffee snob now...
Nah, I drink it with enough Coffee-mate, it doesn't make a real difference.

I used to put a shit load of cream in my coffee, but one day i ran out and drank it with just sugar in it and i became a god!
Never was much of a coffee drinker, that's changed in the past year or two. I can still take it or leave it. (I don't drink much when I'm camping, for example, can't be bothered with keeping the creamer cold.)
My husband will often roast his own beans, so we have to grind them ourselves.
We have an electric grinder.
So... yeah. That.
My coffeemaker has both a timer and a grinder basket. Whole beans go in, and the timer is set.
My alarm clock is the savage grinding of beans, followed by the heavenly aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
With all of the coffee-a-holics here, the better question is who doesn't grind their beans? :lulz:
It's a stretch, but all the same: :lmnuendo:

I had one of those. Given that, at the time, I didn't drink coffee and just ran the damn thing for my husband, cleaning the mess out of it every day was just too much of a pain in the ass. I rejoiced when it broke.

To clarify: You want your fucking coffee, you make your
own damn coffee, and
you clean the fucking thing up.

I would, but I have been banned from all food/drink preparation after the grilled cheese thing.
Exceptions sometimes must be made for those who, in the kitchen, are more prone to imitate Dr Bunsen Honeydew.

Yeah, well, It was easier to make the damn coffee than listen to him whine. My bad.

How do you make that bad of a mess with grilled cheese (she asks with some trepidation).
I grind my coffee beans with my teeth.
RWHN is hardcore. Yo.

I don't think it was as much a mess as it was a fire. :lulz:

This would be my house if I lived on the bottom floor where we keep the coffee maker.
Instead I wake up to the radio. And then that song plays over and over in my head for HOURS.
...but I digress.
Freshly ground is the ONLY way to go for us.

Would have saved me a shitload of trouble.
I currently have an electric grinder but I'm gonna get a mill for my next one... The electric grinder works really well on whole spices, but not so great on getting even grounds with coffee. A mill like the one Dean linked to in the OP is more consistent.
I have a little black and decker electric grinder. Fresh ground or GTFO.
I prefer my grinding my own beans and using a French Press.
HOWEVER, when it comes right down to it my caffiene addiction doesn't give a fuck how the magic gets in my system.

I'm drinking my first cup of french press made coffee as I type. Holy shit this is good stuff.
Coffee from a press is also always MUCH stronger but also more robust in flavor, I find. We went through a phase of using one, but then we just got damned fucking lazy. Now we only use one when we go camping.
I used to drink cheap whiskey, now I only drink single malt. All the cheap stuff tastes horrible.
I used to drink tea from tea bags, now I can't stand the taste. Properly brewed loose leaf tea is so much better.
I refuse to get into good coffee, because I'm afraid I'll lose interest in delicious vending machine caffeine water.
Yeah, you'd be saving the hot coffee-flavored water for desperation rather than necessity. It's a hard knock life, getting used to shit that tastes good.
